Re: [Pharo-dev] '(\w+s*){1, 3}' asRegex - image locks up in Pharo 3 & 4

Looks like a circular loop in RxMatcher, which results in a endless loop in RxmLink postCopy I would look at RxMatcher makeQuantified: anRxmLink min: min max: max makeStar makePlus 2015-01-09 19:59 GMT+01:00 Paul DeBruicker <pdebruic@gmail.com>:

Hi -

In a workspace, if you inspect (or print, doIt, ... ) the following:

'(\w+s*){1,3}'' asRegex

The image will enter into a loop that the Cmd+. can't break out of.

'(\w\s){1,3}' asRegex

does not lock up the image.

Including just one + or * causes the infinite loop when using a quantifier (the {} part).

Does anyone know enough about how the Regex parts of the system to know where to look to fix it?

Thanks

Paul
